He was my North – Verse 040
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong
We miss your smile, your joking ways,
We miss the things you used to say.
And when old times we do recall,
It’s then we miss you most of all.
I’d like the memory of me – Verse 021
I'd like the memory of me,
To be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an after-glow,
Of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo,
Whispering softly down the ways.
Of happy times and laughing times,
And bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
To dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave,
When life is done.
When I must leave you for a little while – Verse 023
When I must leave you for a little while
please do not grieve and shed wild tears
and hug your sorrow to you through the years.
But start out bravely with a gallant smile;
and for my sake and in my name live on and do all things the same,
feed not your loneliness on empty days,
but fill each waking hour in useful ways.
Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer
and I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
and never, never be afraid to die, for I am waiting for you in the sky!
I am writing this from Heaven – Verse 029
I am writing this from Heaven,
Where I dwell with God above,
Where there’s no more tears or sadness,
There is just eternal love.
The day I had to leave you,
When my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me,
And said ‘I welcome you’.
Please do not be unhappy,
Just because I’m out of sight.
Remember that I’m with you,
Every morning, noon and night.
But one thing is for certain,
Though my life on earth is over,
I am closer to you now,
Than I ever was before.
When you are walking down the street,
And you’ve got me on your mind,
I’m walking in your footsteps,
Only half a step behind.
And when you feel that gentle breeze,
Or the wind upon your face,
That’s me giving you a great big hug,
Or just a soft embrace.
A mother’s love is special – Verse 031
A mother’s love is special,
A gift beyond compare,
You only know the meaning,
When she is no longer there.
Along the road of suffering – Verse 032
Along the road of suffering,
You found a little lane,
That took you straight to heaven,
And ended all your pain.
A light is from our household gone – Verse 009
A light is from our household gone,
A voice we loved is still,
A place is vacant in our home,
That can never be filled.
Lonely is the home without you,
Life to us is not the same,
All the world would be like heaven,
If we could have you back again.
The happy hours we once enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still
But death has left a vacant place,
This world can never fill.
How dearly we loved you,
And prayed you might live,
But Jesus just beckoned,
And we had to give.
God gave us strength to bear it,
And courage to fight the blow,
What it has meant to lose you,
God alone will ever know.
May the God of Love and Mercy,
Care for our loved one who is gone,
And bless with consolation,
Those left to carry on.
In dreams we see his smiling face – Verse 010
In dreams we see his smiling face,
And kiss his tender brow,
But in our aching hearts we know,
We have no father now.
The voice is now silent,
The heart is now cold,
The smile and the welcome,
That met us of old.
We miss him and mourn him,
In sorrow unseen,
And dwell on the memories,
Of days that have been.
Lonely is the home without you,
Life to us is not the same,
All the world would be like Heaven
If we could have you back again.
In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away,
And though our hearts were breaking,
We knew you could not stay.
You left behind some aching hearts,
That loved you most sincere,
We never shall, and never will,
Forget you father dear.
Togetherness – Verse 011
Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be the household word that it
always was. Let it be spoken without effort.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is
absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind because
I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you,
for an interval, somewhere very near just
around the corner. All is well.
Nothing is past; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it
was before - only better, infinitely happier
and forever - we will all be one
together with Christ.
The happy hours we once enjoyed – Verse 012
The happy hours we once enjoyed,
How sweet their memory still,
But death has left a vacant place,
This world can never fill.
Each time we look at your picture,
You seem to smile and say,
Don’t be sad, but courage take,
And love each other for my sake.
We think of you in silence,
And often speak your name,
All we have are memories,
And your photo in a frame.
Lonely is the home without you,
Life to us is not the same,
All the world would be like Heaven,
If we could have you back again.
May the God of Love and Mercy,
Care for our loved one who is gone,
And bless with consolation,
Those left to carry on.
We sat beside your bedside – Verse 013
We sat beside your bedside,
Our hearts were crushed and sore;
We did our duty to the end,
‘Till we could do no more.
Our lips cannot speak how we loved him,
Our hearts cannot tell what we say,
But God only knows how we miss him,
In our home that is lonely today.
For many years the Family chain,
Was closely linked together;
But, oh that chain is broken now,
The main link gone forever.
Gone from our home that smiling face,
The cheerful happy ways,
The heart that won so many friends
In bygone happy days.
The sunshine of our happy home,
Must always clouded be;
But Thou, O Lord has sent this cross,
We bear it all for Thee.
What he suffered he told but few – Verse 014
What he suffered he told but few,
He did not deserve what he went through,
Tired and weary he made no fuss,
But tried so hard to stay with us.
A silent grief that’s in our hearts,
No human eye can trace,
For many a broken heart is hid,
Beneath a smiling face.
Pray for us, O dearest father,
To Jesus Christ, Our King,
That He may bless our lonely home
Where Thou once dwelt therein.
And pray that God may give us strength,
To bear our heavy cross;
For no one knows but only He,
The treasure we have lost.
